The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 404 - 401: Chinese Cabbage Tastier Than Meat
In the backyard, stacks of verdant Purple Cloud Cabbages were piled up, amounting to roughly a hundred heads.
From a batch of seeds, each and every one had sprouted, and they were harvested within a day and night.
The vigor of their growth, the quantity produced, one could only say that the feng shui of the Chu Mansion’s backyard was genuinely impressive.
These Purple Cloud Cabbages were plumper than those found in the market, their leaves a shade of green that seemed to drip with freshness, their vitality striking.
The stems of the cabbage were as white and pure as jade, juicy and full. With a gentle pinch, juice would splatter all over one’s hand.
"These are the most beautiful Purple Cloud Cabbages I’ve ever seen, they look just like jade carvings."
Ma Jingtian held two Purple Cloud Cabbages in his arms as if hugging two chubby boys, unable to close his mouth in amazement.
Xin Lin casually grabbed three or four cabbages, tossing them to Ma Jingtian.
"Have someone cook up a few dishes of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, add some chili peppers."
Ma Jingtian immediately ordered someone to cook the dishes.
By this hour, it was about time for dinner.
On the dining table of the Chu Mansion, there was now an extra dish of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar for today’s menu.
The brothers of the Water Wraith Gang took one look and were not pleased.
They were all local ruffians, accustomed to eating spicy and savory foods, and now that they had given up their hooligan ways, were they supposed to switch to a vegetarian diet?
The gang members all pulled long faces, showing no interest in the stir-fried cabbage with vinegar in front of them.
"Buck up, all of you. It’s not like you’re getting less to eat or wear. This is a vegetable personally grown by yours truly." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Ma Jingtian said sternly, lecturing them.
Xin Lin and Silly Chu sat at a table to the side.
Silly Chu picked up a piece of stir-fried cabbage with his chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, then casually shoved it into his mouth.
After chewing a few times, a look of perplexity appeared on Silly Chu’s handsome face.
At the surrounding tables, the gang members of the Water Wraith Gang, under the oppression of Ma Jingtian, reluctantly started to eat the stir-fried cabbage.
Upon tasting it, dozens of local ruffians were immediately stunned.
Holy mother.
Is this really cabbage?
As soon as it entered the mouth, the cabbage was both juicy and fresh; the leaves brimming with a natural fragrance, sending the whole tongue into rapturous delight, almost overwhelmed by the beauty of taste.
The moment the cabbage hit the palate, the taste buds exploded with flavor, transmitting a kind of refreshing lightness as if drinking a sweet mountain spring.
The eyes of the ruffians beamed green, their chopsticks moving swiftly all together towards the dish of cabbage, each trying to be faster than the other, afraid that a half-beat delay would mean one less leaf to enjoy.
"You, youngster, move aside, I’m your blood brother!"
"What does being a brother have to do with it? You don’t even eat vegetables; that cabbage is mine!"
"All of you back off, I grew that cabbage! I’ve barely had a bite."
After tasting it, even Ma Jingtian was astonished, feeling as if he had ascended to the heavens. Mother of god, this wasn’t just any cabbage; it was even tastier than meat, a cabbage comparable to Spiritual Food!
Xin Lin picked up a piece with his chopsticks and after a few bites, was also struck by the fresh and crisp taste of the Purple Cloud Cabbage.
Although it wasn’t as exceptional as the One-star Spiritual Delicacy of Wind Breath Roast Pork, this was just an ordinary plate of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar made by the kitchen staff of the Water Wraith Gang, and yet it had reached a level comparable to the One-star Spiritual Delicacies found in ordinary Spiritual Food Restaurants.
It seemed that using Jade Pure Spring water for cultivation had great potential.
Three to four cabbages, each weighing four to five jin, were more sought after than meat, and were promptly wiped out by the hungry gang members of the Water Wraith Gang like a gust of wind sweeping through leaves.
"Little Boss, these cabbages are really something special; how about we plant another batch? From now on, just eating cabbages will suffice for the brothers."
Ma Jingtian chuckled and said, drooling as he earnestly pleaded.
